Anahola 3 Stars Hotels

"Our stay was amazing from beginning to end! This is a truly family-oriented hotel with very kind and friendly staff who make you feel welcome right away. The organic breakfast every morning was delicious, and they provide everything you may need during your stay, including coolers, towels, and beach chairs, so you don’t have to bring extra items with you. The rooms are comfortable and have everything you need; although the property is older, it is very well maintained and full of charm. Parking was easy, and as an Expedia VIP guest, we were pleasantly surprised with a wonderful bottle of wine and even got to choose the type we preferred, which made us feel very spoiled. In the evenings, the live music creates such a relaxing and beautiful island atmosphere. The birds and roosters around the property add to the authentic island vibe that you experience all over the island. Everything was extremely clean, and whenever we needed towels or anything else, the staff brought it immediately. The shower water pressure was excellent, and the shampoo, shower gel, and hair conditioner provided were a great bonus. Thank you for everything and for making our stay so special!"

"Banyan Harbor Resort is an old property and has not been kept up. If you have difficulty going up and down 18 steps outside - open to the elements - do not consider this property. And those steps were to get to the first floor rooms. There is not an elevator . And if you had a room on the 2-4th floor- plan on a marathon of outdoor steps. the room we had separate window air conditioners in each room that were very noisy and dirty. Blowing dirty air- as shown by the dirty , dusty curtains above each unit. Plus the motors vibrated the windows. The bathrooms were very dated and one of the toilets was tipsy. The shower head was coming out of the wall and the shower handles were full of black mold. Maybe a fresh coat of paint might have helped covering up the rust. We had a reservation for a king with 1 bathroom and all they had was a two bedroom 2 bath with full size beds. My husband and I were on a romantic vacation and sleeping separately was not in our plans. (TMI) Overall cleanliness was not good and I kept expecting to see bugs but I did not. Linens and towels were old and the pillows were very uncomfortable square shaped and flimsy. Thank goodness we were only spending one night because the property is located near the Lihue airport. We would not recommend staying at this property. Yes, it was convenient to have a kitchen with refrigerator . We had asked if there was shuttle service to the airport and they had told us yes- but that was not true. Plan to Uber. "

"This is an older resort and needs some updates, but our room was so nice. They upgraded us to oceanfront and we loved turning off the ac and opening the glass door to see and hear the waves roll in, also beautiful ocean breezes. The staff was amazing. So kind and helpful. And we got a great price for the product. Would definitely stay there again! Just behind Coconut Marketplace, so walking distance to shops and good food. Jo Jo’s and Chicken in a Barrel are two of our favorites. Great location to north shore, Lihue and Airport."
